TREND : GLIMMER AND GLEAM

Last season saw sequins and sparkle everywhere, but now it's time for a subtler glow think of a more lunar glow instead of bright stars.  High tech fabrics gave an iridescent glow at Chanel, Christopher Kane and Marc Jacobs whereas a wet-look sheen was issued at Marios Schwab and Giles.  Here are the looks from the catwalk.

Here are some metallic picks from the high street.

Topshop's metallic skater is ideal for this look and could be worn for both day and night, depending on how it was accessorized.  Also available in pink.  Topshop also carry this metallic biker, which again could be worn for day and evening, and offers an edgier look to the trend.

River Island's dip hem maxi skirt has a slight sheen which is what this look is all about, also the dip hem is a big hit for summer.  Also available in gold.  Topshop's metallic racer back vest has an iridescent sheen similar to what was seen at chanel, it would be perfect for day with a leather jacket and skinny jeans.












If you don't want to go all out in a metallic outfit there are plenty of accessories available so that you can take just a hint of the trend.


Topshop have lots and lots and lots of metallic shoes but these two pairs are my favourites.


These pointed shoes are perfect for the trend and also this style of shoe befits the vintage americana trend which is also about.  These sandals are AMAZING for evening and have the perfect Chanel iridescent glow.

Topshop's metallic "binocular bag" is a quirky take on the trend, and is the perfect size for evening and it also has a convenient shoulder strap. If pink is more your thing this asymmetric clutch is perfect and again is perfect for evening.
